For the third straight year, Heroes In Transition donated holiday gift boxes to military families at Joint Base Cape Cod.

The boxes, which were delivered Dec. 19 by Guaranteed Fresh Produce & Dairy Company of Hyannis, included a full Christmas meal along with fresh fruits, coffee, apple cider, cake mix and a $50 gift card for each family.

The annual tradition has quickly grown in size, from 35 boxes in 2017 to 100 this year.

Along with the gift packages, 30 bicycles were included, courtesy of Seaside Le Mans and The Davenport Companies of South Yarmouth.

The boxes will be distributed to families of service members stationed at the U.S. Coast Guard Base Cape Cod, U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, U.S. Coast Guard Southeast Sector New England, U.S. Air Force 6 Space Warning Squadron and units of the Massachusetts Army National Guard and Air National Guard’s 102nd Intelligence Wing.
